    I want to know weather the Prepaid and Postpaid connection from a same operator are to be treated as from different Network as per TRAI regulation?
    I want to clarify this as I wanted to port out from AIRTEL network on which I was a postpaid customer since 2005. When I applied for MNP it simply rejected the case because there is some unpaid dues(though there is a deposit amount of some 500 times of my unpaid amount) This case happened 2 times because whenever I apply for MNP it takes 2 days minimum to process and I had to pay the bills on the application date. So I converted to prepaid. This time it rejects my application showing the cause that I am not on there network for 90 days.
    I am not finding the point in TRAI publication where it has been written that the postpaid and prepaid from same company are of 2 different network

    cell phone — Network

    There is no proper network in most of the places then i ned to for wat purpose they started their service
    I am a AIRTEL Customer having no.[protected]. I remained a postpaid customer from May 2005 to April2011. Now on 6th april I switched over to Prepaid. I applied for MNP to BSNL in Feb-2011 after clearing the dues(My billing cycle is 3rd to 2nd of month) during the 2 days(from 4th to 5th) I accumulated a dues of only Rs2.00 as I was not using the SIM. But your Office rejected the request as I was having a dues of Rs2. Then I switched over from Postpaid to Prepaid. When I appllied for MNP to BSNL your office rejected my request saying that I am not on your network for last 90 days.
    I want to be clarified that Wether your Prepaid and Postpaid connection are belong to different NETWORK?
    Answer me in accordance with TRAI regulation.
    This is the ready-made answer for most of the cases in the world. While I was facing the network coverage issues inside my home, you were doing the same thing to close my complain. I don't expect anything more than that from you.

        Address: Central Delhi, Delhi

        I got a new airtel landline and broadband connection on 9 march with 4mbps browsing speed. The airtel executive activated the line after goofing up once already (activated a different number not alotted to me).. He asked me where all he wants the connection to work.. i asked him to activate one landline and broadband connection in my living room and a parallel connection in my bedroom.. the parallel bedroom connection did not get activated but thats a different stroy. the main concern is that the airtel broadv=band speed since day 1 is 30kbps instead of 400 kbps on a 4mbps surfing speed connection. i asked the tech to rectify it, and he gives me an answer that sir as its a new connection the speed will get fine by tomorrow. i knew he isnt gonna help so i let him go and called the customer service (this was my first call)..after going through the troubleshotting steps the customer service rep said that we will check again tomorrow, which never came. i called 3 more times but no resolution. I have again called today and went through the troubleshooting steps again post which the CS forwarded a request to send a technician.

        Post this i get a call from gurgaon that sir your computer has a virus and its your computer fault. I explained the technician about my background that I have 4 laptops and a computer and I am an IBM employee, a certified Dell Technician and an MCSE and I know these technicalities, to which the employee answers that 'sir dont you have a good computer. i asked him to come and check it for himself, the rude says sir why dont you get the connection cancelled. I asked him to cancel it and he bangs the phone on my face. I guess I am pissed off after 6 phone calls and a stupid technician to tell me how to maintain a computer. I will take this matter further, no matter what.

        my complaint number is 4151130.

        anyone from the airtel legal department contact me, as my brother who is an advocate is already working o the case. lets see who is the boss..

          Hi

          This is balaji C R, JP Nagar – Bangalore. We purchased Airtel settop box few month back. we are facing repeated issues due to signal problem, poor customer service etc.,. now the remote control is not working and its so frustrating that we need to move to tv and change channels. Its so disappointing to hear that one of the top company like Airtel provide the poor service.

          When we called up the customer service, its pathetic that no one is picking up calls. Always the response comes as “Busy”.

          We required your immediate response and resolution of the problem

            Hi,

            I am holding Airtel prepaid connection([protected]) since 6 years, i have recharged RC 123(transaction ID[protected] on 2nd april 2011, its benefits are airtel to airtel tariff 10 ps/minute, other local mobiles 50 ps/minute and validity is 30 days, but it worked only 4 days, from 7th april onwards iam getting charged 50 ps/minute for every call, i registered complaint on 8th April with ref number CBDPA[protected]. They just closed complaint without any feedback to me, again i call CC to know the status they transferred call to their supervisor, i was in waiting in the call for 10 minutes for the supervisor response, after call was disconnected, it happened same three times, after three times iam not even getting the option to talk to CC. Again next day i called CC then i was successfully connected with supervisor, he confirmed that wrong billing is happening, he raised again complaint with ref number CBDPA[protected], and he told my problem will be solved in 3 days and i will be credited the balance whichever is deducted due to wrong billing. But it is not solved, and i got a service message from airtel i.e "You are charged correctly as per your tariff plan and to know your tariff send PLAN to 405", even i tried to send PLAN to 405, this message itself getting failed telling check network services. The same happened in March month also, even their is no proper resolution for the complaint given in March....

            Kindly do the needful to solve my problem....

            Hi rakesh,

            I dont why you are not able to contact me with my number?? am switched on 24/7. Can i know why it is taking this much delay to solve simple problems(which am giving repeatadly)??? how mays days still i have to wait for resolution as there is many other operators are available?? and these days Airtel network is also very bad in hyderabad, out of 10 calls min 8 calls are disconecting while in conversation. Never got this much irritation in these 6 years of my usage of airtel. Your cc are very silly, few people will tell am in tariff of 1 rupee, few people are telling am in 50np tariff.. I dont know why your CC people are irritating ordinary people...
            Hello Mr.Rakesh,

            Again shravan here, can u provide any time line to solve my problem???? i hope you need few months to solve a problem... Is this the eagerness your team is showing to your customers??? Is this the correct response to your customers??? or is it a international problem, so that you are not able to solve?????


            Pls provide timeline... If you cant solve this problem, atleast confirm that you are not in a position to solve customer problems...
            Hi,

              All are same [protected]@in.airtel.com, [protected]@in.airtel.com. No one is replying neither refunding the credit. Such a third class service I have never seen by telecom provider.
              Here in UAE there is monopoly in telecommunication still they are giving top class service & you people facing such a tough competition and giving such kind of service.
              I don't have any other option to change net provider who is deducting for unnecessary & not even replying.

They told that now nothing can be done.I purchased one new SIM NO;[protected]. Why is it not possible to give credit of that 100/-rupees to my new SIM ? How can Airtel keep my money unauthentically ? If it will solve this Iam going to file a complaint in Consumer Forum. Plz reply within 7 days from today.

                  I have been using Airtel broad band connection from past few years and there were no major issues till now.The minor issues being promptly solved during a days turnaround time.
                  But from past one week the phone has been dead and internet has been not working.I had raised a request with call center with request id 44988684.Till now i have seen the most worst customer service ever.They simply dont seem to bother about how to resolve that.

                  Fed up, i raised a request for disconnection.The call center personnel said that she will send me a confirmation mail.But till now i havent got any such mail..

                  Airtel customer service is not as good as it was in the past.Perhaps the management can take a clue from this if they want not to lose thier hard earned customer base from past.

                      Dear Sir,
                      This is to inform you that I Ankur Sengupta had a number of Airtel ([protected]). Previously I was the consumer of that number then I handed over to my brother and I took other Airtel no. [protected]. But I always pay its bill. The issue is that the Airtel no. [protected] got PD due to non submit the bill by my brother. I was totally unknown about this matter. Any how I cane to know that the facility of Incoming and Outgoing is not available in the Airtel no. [protected] and the bill amount is Rs 2800/-. Mr. Vishal who was the collection incharge told me to submit the bill. I requested him to take the amount from my father because I am out of station. He came to my father and took the amount worth Rs 2800/- and told him that this is number [protected] got barred and if you restart this number then you have to pay Rs 350/- to restart and resubmit your documents. In case my father gave him all the documents and money worth Rs350/- and told him that we have changed our Residence from Khurrampur to Shatabdi Nagar what would be then? Mr. Vishal and Shobit told him that no issue give your all essential documents we will get your number [protected] started. But when my father asked for the receipt he denied rudely and told that receipt for this money will not be delivered. Anyways my father did not say anything to him just told him that ok no issue just restart this number [protected].

                      Now what happened that after some days Mr. Vishal no.([protected]) got switched off and Mr. Shoibit ([protected]) comes to solve or issues. Here this number [protected] not restarted as a Postpaid and instead of Postpaid they gave me a sim and told me that I is Prepaid and after 3 Months you will be able to convert it on Postpaid. Yesterday[protected] I reached to Vardhaman Plaza to take that Sim of [protected] there a new drama begins Mr. Amit and Mr. Jain refused to give me the sim and told me that first you have to pay Rs 25/- for this sim. I told them politely but Mr. jain rudely behaved and I had to pay Rs 25/- more to get the sim. I called to Mr. Shobit ([protected]) and he gave me Rs 25/- back at Govt. Inter College but the 10 Rupee note was taped and was refused by the bus conductor of Roadways where I was going to Mawana for my job purpose. I had no money but by the grace of god one of my acquaintance gave that 10 Rupee note and I safely reached to Mawana otherwise God knows what could happened.

                      And now today another drama comes in the early morning I inserted that sim [protected] but is was not be activated. I recalled to Mr. Ashutosh ([protected]) he clearly mentioned that you have to recharge worth Rs 50/- then as much you can so that your number could be restarted again.

                      This is ridiculous for me. I spent Rs 2800/- then Rs 350/- then Rs 25/- where 10 rupee note was taped and now I would have to give Rs 50/- and Rs 25 or Rs 50/- for talk with this number even incoming facility is not activated.

                      Don't you give salary to these rude boys. I almost spend Rs RS 3575/- for this done by your boys. Now it is high time to bear.

                      Kindly refund my Rs 350/- so that I could recharge and run this number. Now its your turn to see what you say to me.


                      Regards,

                      Airtel — amount of 2800 Rs collected from my mobile bills.

                      From January 2008 Airtel was sending me excess bills for the service that I was not used. Every month an excess of 300 Rs for the DADA is collected, informing that I'm using DADA, WAP, eta. With repeated request also Airtel still deny to return the excess amount of 2800 Rs collected from my mobile [protected].

                      I had handed over all these bill copies to some of the leading newspapers and TV media.

                        Dear Ms. Rashmi Verma,

                        I am forwarding the serials of e-mail conversation which i had with you previously with the same subject title because the problem is not completely resolved till date by Airtel Digital TV.

                        Still the same problem of hanging of many channels viz. COLOR, Bindas, Nick PIx etc. is persists during afternoon and evening time even after my continuous request for resolving the same to your local customer care at VAPI, GUJARAT, SMS services and your
                        General Airtel Customer care number.

                        Now since last two days the service become more worst as during evening and night hours your so called Digital TV service is giving me the messages that the card inserted is not of Airtel with error codes like 2 or 25. than every time we have to shutdown our TV, need to remove the Airtel card from the receiver and again need to reinsert in the receiver than for some time may be 10-15 min? it shows the programmes and again shows the same problem with same error codes.

                        Now even my 6 yrs old son also knows what is the procedure we need to follow when your services get hanged with such types of error codes.

                        I don't know why such types of problems happen with AIRTEL only? i have TATA SKY at my father's home where he never face such types of problem any time even after more than 2 years!!!! So this is the unique problem that airtel customers are facing on which airtel has to think for some concrete solution other wise it affects very seriously on the costumer strength of AIRTEL!!!!



                        Today also i again call to the local airtel customer care and got the same answer that we will send some one but let me tell you till date after such answer no body is even taking care of at least attending the complain.

                        Can you please suggest what further i have to do or i need to take any other actions?

                        Or give me the suitable contact number of any superior in Gujarat where i can request for the service which is my RIGHT as a customer after paying one year subscription in ADVANCE.

                        Your urgent reply is highly appreciated as i do not want to loose my Ind. vs SRl final crcket match today.

                        This is Dr. Darpesh Gohel From VAPI, GUJARAT using your AIRTEL Digital since LAST 6-8 month.

                        Actually i took your annual package including all channels WHICH WAS COSTING ARROUND 3800/-

                        NOW SINCE LAST ARROUND TWO MONTHS, YOUR SO CALLED DIGITAL TV IS NOT ABLE TO SHOW ME MANY CHANNELS MAINLY IN NIGHT HOURS (STARTING FROM 6:00PM). THE CHANNELS WHICH ARE NOT VISIBLE ARE COLOUR TV, BINDAS TV TLC AND MANY OTHER VERY IMPORTANT CHANNELS.

                        I CALLED LOTS OF TIME TO YOUR TOLLED CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER ([protected]) FROM WHERE I AGAIN GIVEN ANOTHER NUMBER FOR YOUR LOCAL PERSON ([protected]) WHERE I REQUESTED MANY TIME TO COME AND CHECK THE ROOT OF PROBLEM BUT TILL DATE NOT A SINGLE ACTION IS TAKEN.

                        NOW I AM FEELING LIKE AIRTEL DIGITAL TV HAS CHEATED ON ME BY TAKING ANNUAL FEE IN ADVANCE AND NOT PROVIDING THE SERVICE WHICH THEY SHOULD..

                        BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE NOW ONWARDS I M NOT SUGGESTING ANY OTHER PERSON TO BUY THE AIRTEL DIGITAL TV.

                        CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORST WITH AIRTEL AS I EXPERIENCED.

                        IF STILL ANYBODY IS THERE TO HELP AND RESOLVE MY PROBLEM THEN ATLEAST THAT MAKE SOME JUSTICE TO ME OR I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THE SAME.

                        YOUR HURTED CUSTOMER

                        I'm having a similar (much worse) experience with Airtel. My complaint regarding the faulty STB is now pending for 2 weeks. Refer to http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/airtel-c557427.html for details.

                        Good luck if you choose to subscribe to any of Airtel's services/products. Mr Mittal and associates are not interested in hearing consumer complaints.

                          Address: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

                          Hi Airtel,

                          I have been using Airtel mobile Prepaid for more than six years but these days your service & customer support are getting worst .

                          today I have Activated AIRTEL GPRS(10Rs Per day-Unlimited) on my handset & i got a message that 'Rs 10 daily unltd GPRS Pack is activated.Next deduction due on 10/04/2011 00:00hrs.to deactivated dail *567#' after that i going to surf internet on my mobile but after few min i saw that my all balance are gone iam shocked how it happened.

                          So I tried to contact customer care 198 and also [protected] but my customer service are deactivated from your end.

                          Tell me this is your service

                          My Actual Balance was more than 72 Rs before activation of GPRS but after activation its suddenly drop to .3 Paisa.


                          What is this i want my money back or i have to take some Action against you .It may be court case or shift to Other network provider.

                          & Also I am continuously trying to deactivate AIRTEL GPRS but i am not able to connect Customer care because you are made customer care disable on my number even i tried to dail *567# and after that select 7 for manage account the 1 for deactivation but my GPRS not deactivated yet every day 10Rs Deducted from my account.


                          Waiting for your reply

                          Your customer who cheated by you

                            Hi

                            I Rathinasabapathy complaining for the cell number [protected].. I recharge for Rs 234 on 9th april 2011. On that day i lost Rs 2 and on next day morning i lost Rs 30 and evening Rs 2. Again on next day morning they took Rs 2. I lost this amount without speaking on cell.

                            I dont want anyother service like caller tune , internet , etc. I use this number only for calls. I never request for anyother service.

                            I kindly request u to give me proper explanation and give back the amount which u took unnecessarily.

                                ITS OF MORE THAN A WEEK WE PURCHASED AIRTEL HD SETUP BOX.

                                EVERY TIME THEIR ENGINEERS SORT OF TECHNICIANS VISITED THE PREMISES BUT THEY WERE NOT capable TO INSTALL THE SETUP BOX AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SAME BUT OVER AND ABOVE THEY FAILED TO ACTIVATE MY SERVICES for a second time, THEIR CUSTOMER CARE AND THE ENTIRE AIRTEL DIGITAL SERVICE IS A WORST SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE COUNTRY AS COMPARED TO TATASKY, VIDEOCON D2H WHICH I HAVE USED.

                                KINDLY TAKE THIS INTO HIGH CONSIDERATION AND GIVE VALUE TO YOUR VALUED CUSTOMERS.

                                    Customer ID: [protected].
                                    I got a free Airtel DTH connection with my Sony Bravia. I got a customer id and recharge coupon for Rs 1000 and then my horrible journey with Airtel started. First it is impossible to get thru 12150 it just happily keeps on connecting but the moment you select the option to talk to any customer executive for new installation u get disconnected. Somehow I found out that the 1800 number at least connects to a customer service executive (lets call them jokers as this is what they are) so these jokers give me different confirmation receipt numbers each time I call them for new installation:
                                    15555941
                                    15575267
                                    and confirm every time that the installation would be done in 2 days. One joker had the guts to give me the number of a technician: [protected] Sai Enterprises, google this number to find out the cheating that goes behind this number. Worst part every time I call them (today included) the jokers ask for the same information again and again Sir what is your scratch card number, what is ur TV model number which package you want to select etc etc?
                                    I'm absolutely fed up and frustrated with these jokers and their service. I'll talk to the Sony World manager too about this, right now I'm not sure if I even want to go for this connection.
                                    I wish these guys were operating in a country where the customers had a little more power and they would be bankrupt in no time. On same lines the id given at Airtel website [protected]@airtel.in is useless no point sending a mail there. I sent the complaint to other email id [protected]@airtel.in and I got an immediate response that my complaint would be "looked into" and so far nothing.
                                    Who r u fooling here? I've sent a mail to airtelpresence even before posting out here and I get a feeling that the above is also an automated response i've received no SMS from your side.
                                    I[censored] wish to get in touch with me do so at [protected]

                                      Address: Maharashtra

                                      I purchased an Airtel prepaid SIM on 12 mar 2011 ([protected]) from Airtel dealer at Pune and submitted all documents. My SIM was activated same day. Subsequently I was called by Airtel verification team repeatedly and informed that the SIM is not registered in my name. One fine day oone of their agents called and then confirmed that all details have been corrected online while he was talking to me. However nothing was done.
                                      I have raised atleast 7 mails to their nodal officer too and have been assured needful being done.Subsequently, on 4 April 11, I again submitted my documents to the dealer. Suddenly, on Sat 8 April 11, the SIM has been de-activated by Airtel. Serious issue is that Airtel staff entered wrong details and this can be a serious security issue if some one manipulates.

                                      Probably to hide this seriuos lapse, SIM has been deactivated.

                                        Airtel customer care is just a dumble ness.If you are trying to tell them your complains they are telling you to wait for an hour.even not registering your complains in airtel.this all person are illitrate.airtel broadband is just a cheating.


                                        prvin silvani is one of thier executive from banglore who has not understanding english proper even not registering complains.
                                        I am Saurabh My NO is [protected].1 week ago when I applied for portability.Custome care executive call me and told me we are giving you best offer just sms CANCELCO mob no to 51619.4-5 days has been passed today when I called some one my bal was 103.40 after a call of 4 sec my bal became 102.80.Means 60 paisa.I got free talk time of 120rs A2A.But my rest offer 10p A2A & 30P A2Others has yet activate.

                                        I Tried 198 100 times I am unable to connect the customer care.Now I have no way to tell my problem.That is why I am complainting here
                                        i am unable to connect the customer care, in my mobile wall paper as been activated . i want to deactivate unable to search them . i have recharged for rs.250 last week but i lost rs 110.

                                        kindly deactivate the wall paper and do not send any message to mobile no [protected].

                                        air tel are cheaters, if the balance is zero they do not send any message and once we recharge immediately keep sending messages and we will be losing money.
